Frame Adjustments
Tool Bar Height Adjustment
Tool Bar height is factory set and normally will not require
adjustment. If you tear down the drill for repair or if the
tool bar is visibly not level, spacer washers on vertical
pivot pins allow for a small amount of tool bar-height
adjustment.
Refer to Figure 39
To check tool bar height, park drill on a level surface.
Measure from ground to centerline of horizontal pivot
pin
. If dimension on either side of drill varies more
than
1 ⁄
4
inch, adjust tool bar height.
To adjust tool bar height, reposition spacer washers .
First lower openers and set enough opener down
pressure to help balance frame. Raise tool bar by
removing spacer washers from top of the vertical pivot
and placing them on bottom side of pivot. Lower tool bar
by removing spacer washers from bottom of vertical pivot
and placing them on top of pivot.
Truss Tube
Provide a small amount of tension on truss tube to help
hold draft load from tool bars.
